However, as Goyen proves with first-hand accounts and vignettes of her experiences, God and faith can keep a family together when dark times hit.
Plano, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/04/2013 -- While the media, so-called ‘experts’ and medical professionals attempt to better the lives of millions, the most enriching life lessons are often drawn directly from the experiences of others. Wanting to share her own eclectic life story with the world and offer solace to those trying to find life’s light, Texan Laurie Goyen is delighted to announce the launch of her powerful memoir.
‘River Through my Heart’ is as enlightening as it is important; an uplifting reflection on life and love.
Synopsis:
A memoir written from the heart about life, love, loss, anxiety, joy and spirituality. A woman's heart-warming journey about how she faced and overcame debilitating worry/anxiety and how her faith saw her through the difficult ordeal of her seven year old son's life threatening illness. A purposeful story about how we can get through the curves that are inevitably thrown at all of us.
The author explains, her life flows like a river, sometimes calm and sometimes raging. “As my life takes me upstream and down, readers will journey alongside me when I meet my soul mate and navigate through many trials and triumphs.” says Goyen.
Continuing, “After overcoming infertility and starting a family at last, our second son falls severely ill. However, all isn’t lost - Through it all, God is there for me as he places people, animals and even a job in my path to help get me through it all. These experiences brought forth wisdom that I now want to share with others to help them find the inspiration they need to thrive.”
Since its release in October 0f 2013, the memoir has proven immensely popular with a wide audience ranging from Christian families and women to those who are yet to discover God’s power and his purpose for them.
For example, Bicknell Thomas Eubanks highly recommends the book to both male and female readers. He comments, “I found myself anticipating the next page long before I was ready to turn the current page. Laurie writes in an intensely personal style and shares her likes and dislikes, her hopes and disappointments, her strengths and weaknesses in a conversational manner which invites the reader to share her life with her. This is not a book for women only. Men will understand and enjoy it as well. It may help you men to understand just what is going on in a woman's head. Surprisingly there is not as much difference as you might assume.”
With the book’s demand increasing, interested readers are urged to purchase their copies as soon as possible.
